Video chat, other networking services require a Nintendo Network ID. Register with a password, your birthdate, gender, area of residence, and e-mail address. Your Nintendo Network ID can be used to exchange contact information in the same way as Friend Codes. eShop purchases are managed by Nintendo Network IDs, and can be played by other users on same system.

Miiverse available in all Wii U games. Ask community for help (setting to automatically hide spoilers), leave comments, read others thoughts, submit screenshots as you're playing and more. Support for accessing Miiverse on your smartphone or PC will come in 2013.

Ability to video-chat with friends using the camera on the controller. Can doodle on screen together.

-Account based limited to 12 accounts per system, the first thing you do when turning on the console is selecting user since everything from savegames, friends and settings are personal. (no friend codes)
-User name and personal information
-Gamer title, for example Advanced Gamer as shown in the Direct.
-Followers (without being registered friends)
-People you are following (again without being registered friends)
-Number of times people empathized with you.
-Friend requests are done via the PM functionality of the service.
-Game specific information will be linked and shared with others through your ID, for example accomplishments (up to individual devs to implement, not a global system) and the games you're currently playing.
-Profile comments
-Will also be used for the eShop and future third party online services, whatever that could end up being...
-You will have a page where you can see the activities of friends and other people you're following.
-Can be accessed during mid game and without the TV.

Miiverse
It's like a forum basically where you post comments by either typing, writing or drawing.
-Spoiler tags
-Can also be accessed during mid game and with the TV off.
-Nintendo Network ID is integrated in Miiverse.

Wii U Chat

-Video chat on the gamepad only, or with TV+gamepad.
-Uses built in mic and camera, surprisingly good quality as shown when Iwata was video chatting with Reggie across the Atlantic.
-Draw stuff while chatting.
-When you're playing a game the home button will glow when you receive a call.

They have a feature where you can report offensive content and a Miiverse staffer will investigate. If it's an offensive post, you'll be put under "watch" where any future posts by you will have to be approved by Miiverse staffers (with a delay up to 30 minutes apparently).

That's just for random people on the warawara plaza, not people you've added.
